Prepare properly for the cold weather

Honestly, the cold weather can be discouraging and you don’t want your guests shivering and attending without a coat or umbrella. Send written notes alongside your wedding invitation to remind your guests to dress warm, since there will be outdoor activities. If you have some options for outdoor seating, ensure you have provided blankets to ensure guests can fully enjoy your surroundings and special day with you.

Location

Autumn is a season that brings along the countryside or rural vibe, which makes it even more astonishing. When picking your wedding location for an autumn wedding, think woodland, forest, country, outdoor restaurants, riverside with massive leaf pour, and barn wedding locations. Autumn trees and leaves make the perfect backdrop for your wedding photographs. 

Include specific natural elements like leaves, flowers, twigs, fruits like berries, sweet apples, and mini tree branches that can be planted around the location. These decorations cost less and bring alongside the autumn theme with the perfect color for fall which is that yellow, green, and rusty brown leaf mix.

Lighting is a tool that makes a venue come to life in its fullest form making every decor more prominent and noticeable. Use lightings like candles, clear Christmas lights, red and yellow bulbs to accentuate your wedding to have a fairy tale lighting.

Congratulations! You’ve established a collaboration with a brand you’re really excited to work with, and you’re looking forward to telling your followers all about their product. Knowing what the next step is can be difficult, especially if the guidelines are just to “be yourself.” 

 5 tips you can use to nail your product collaborations: 

1. Tell a story 

Brands are eager to work with creators who are expert storytellers. Creators who work with a product they are passionate about can easily construct authentic stories around it. This can help increase the credibility of your sponsored posts, as your followers will understand you only work with brands you love. Sharing a personal story or experience is not only a great way to nail your collaboration, but it is also the perfect perfect opportunity to develop a deeper relationship with your followers. 

Pro tip: When you share a personal experience with a product, you can ask your followers to share theirs too. This will help get a conversation started and improve engagement. 

2. Your followers are invested in you 

Your audience follows you because they love the content you create and enjoy keeping up with what you’re up to. This is why some of your most popular photos might be the ones you’re in. Brands enjoy working with creators who use their products and have selected you because they can entrust you to capture an authentic moment with their product. 

Pro tip: When working with a product, break it out of its packaging and use it! This shows your followers you genuinely love the product you’re promoting. This will typically have better results than a selfie or flat-lay.

3. Your followers can clearly see the product 

Brands choose to partner with creators because of their creativity and ability to showcase a product in an eye-catching way. When you begin crafting content for a collaboration, consider how the product will be viewed in the photo or video. If the product has a label, try to visualize how the label will be viewed by your followers, or whether the label can be seen at all. Brands have chosen you to promote a product, so the product should be clearly shown in your photo or video. 

Pro tip: If you’re trying to capture yourself holding the product, try not to cover the label with your hand! 

4. The product and setting should work together 

Brands are eager to work with creators because you are able to take their products to new settings through your videos and photo. This affects how the product is seen and is why the setting of your content is important. Some of the best collaborations we’ve seen on inzpire.me have been ones where the setting complements the product and the creator engages with the item. Often, this occurs because the creator considers what type of background will work naturally with the product. 

Pro tip: Use the colors of the setting to make the product really pop! Pick an accent color and try to compliment it with a clothing item, household items, or outside scenery.

I want us all, as we read this post to take a minute of silence for everyone one that has passed away due to hunger or starvation, starting from soldiers to the less privileged and so forth. Sometimes we underestimate what we have and forget to appreciate and realize how God has blessed us. 

A day before yesterday being thursday, I refused to eat all day. I didn't sleep so well at night and I wasn't feeling hungry, my monthly flow was on and it made me really uncomfortable and I kept frequenting the toilet. I woke up, did the necessary, started working on my website, writing posts  and replying emails. I already planned with my friend with whom I traveled with on visiting the karaoke hall to catch some fun. I took my bath, I started dressing up and I could hardly lift my body cream, I struggled through the process. I wore a pantyhose, it felt really uncomfortable I removed it and decided to wear jeans and sweater. I managed to dress up, then we got out of the house and I was really struggling to walk and keep up with the slow steps my friend was taking. We were walking to the restaurant to eat before going to the karaoke hall. I had to tell my friend to stop and I slowly walked into the pharmacy close by, they saw my state and quickly gave me a chair to sit down. I sat down and asked them for glucose  and water which was given to me immediately. I sat for some minutes and got little energy and worked to the restaurant where I had soup and mashed potatoes which I had to force myself to eat. I felt better in less than 5 mins after eating.

Generally, our body needs food to function, food converted to energy and used to fuel the body. Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) in the stomach. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose. The stomach and small intestines absorb the glucose and then release it into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, glucose can be used immediately for energy or stored in our bodies, to be used later.
